My Remington noiseless, made in the same year, is indeed quieter than my Royal l930 Model P (My principal writing tool). But it has a different feel, and it seems to me needs to be pounded rather than simply pushed down on. That's why I use the Royal.
I own a restored 1932 Underwood Noiseless portable, which was made for them and was identical with, the Remington Noiseless. It's very quiet but, like any noiseless machine I've typed with, has an awful 'feel' on the keys. I'd never have one for my only machine.
I do have one question left, which has easier typing action? Regular or noiseless or because of the differences you can't compare. Like apples and oranges :)
I type next to an open window overlooking the sidewalk. When I type on a traditional typewriter, passers by stop and look up; they hear the clack-clack-clack of the keys striking the paper. (A pleasant sound, but quite noticeable.) When I type on my Remington Noiseless, no one notices!
I have a similar situation with typing late at night. When all is silent except the typing, and when you know other people are sleeping not too far away, any reduction in volume is useful.
It's probably a little quieter even with the cover on the silento. I like the sound of both, even though the silento and the noiseless it sounds a little ...jangly.....hahaha but for others I will be typing around, it seems the jangling and the less loud operation would be alot nicer.
This is a severely underrated channel, even if it has just one video. The production quality is great.
This video was awesome! Great production value; can't wait for more. c:

5 years later, we’d love to see a come back of more videos!
Very good video and nice comparison. Well written and presented.

I think I'd rather the "noisy" one really. Sounds nicer. Good video thank you.
Very informative and well-done! Thank You!
Beautiful machines and I enjoyed the video. It helped me with questions I've always had. Thank you.
love it!

There should be a slo-mo close up video of the silent machines.

The Torpedo is hard on the anvil amplifying the noise level, metal to metal, Remington, desk top machines were quieter
I thought this video was wonderful! I have a Noiseless and it is truly a different experience!
What a great comparison!!!
Although standards may be louder, they definitely sound better than noiseless machines.

Please turn up the music louder.
